A regulation on the gun attachments was put in place by the Justice Department after the 2017 mass shooting in Las Vegas that killed 60 people and injured hundreds more.
A bump stock is installed on an AK-47 at a gun range in Utah in 2018. The bump stock is a device when installed allows a semi-automatic to fire at a rapid rate much like a fully automatic gun.WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court agreed on Friday to decide whether a Trump era-ban on bump stocks, the gun attachments that allow semi-automatic weapons to fire rapidly like machine guns, violates federal law.
The Supreme Court already is weighing a challenge to another federal law that seeks to keep guns away from people under domestic violence restraining orders, a case that stems from the landmark decision in 2022 in which the six-justice conservative majority expanded gun rights. Most of the rifles were fitted with bump stock devices and high-capacity magazines. A total of 58 people were killed in the shooting, and two died later. Hundreds were injured.
“The definition of ‘machinegun’ as set forth in the National Firearms Act and Gun Control Act does not apply to bump stocks,” Judge Jennifer Walker Elrod wrote for the 5th Circuit.
